My Uncle Kenny recently brought up a childhood story about his brother, my Uncle Eddie, drawing a penis and trying to convince my grandfather that it was NOT a dirty drawing, but instead, a rocket ship.
When I asked my mother about this, it reminded her to ask me if I was involved in the drawing of a penis on her paperwork that she needed to return to the dentist. Apparently, said penis was drawn over the holidays while Ryan and I were visiting.
I was *not* involved in this incident, but I can understand her targeting me as a primary suspect. When my brother Chris was in maybe 4th or 5th grade , I took his homework and wrote "Chris smells" on it. He did not notice, and turned it in with my comments still intact.
He got in trouble for it with the teacher, and found himself in "The Gotcha Club". Now, I don't know what the Gotcha Club was, I imagine it was something akin to this teacher's "Shit List", but he was mighty upset about being in it. The thing that was always so confusing to me about the whole thing was, why was he in trouble? It has to be pretty obvious he didn't write that about himself. And if he did write that about himself and turn it in, wouldn't the teacher recognize it as some sort of self esteem problem?
This will be yet another family "whodunit" Jack will admit to drawing the bulldozer but will not take credit for the penis. I think mom drew it.

Mom even saved it to show to me. Evidence. I think we should get everyone in the family together. Make each one draw a penis and compare. The penis artist must be found!

I think a full investigation is in order if the true culprit doesn't step forward.

Today I saw the alleged penis. It was my drawing I guess I am the guilty one. I however am only guilty of being a bad artist. The drawing was of a full bodied man head and all, (the kind that has a nose) which apparently looked like a penis to Joan. Now I could say what was Joan thinking as she looked at my drawing or should I say Rorschach test.
